Sorry for the delay, been busy.
Captiv8r, you wrote "The thing is, if the user wants the image and can display it on their screen, there isn't much you can do to thwart it."
I have no idea what you're responding to here. ???
My question was regarding the following issue: Because our support people can't select/export specific topics to use in special customer-specific PDFs (my first question), they tried to copy and paste the desired topics into a Word document (which they can then turn into a PDF) - my second question in my original post.
The issue is that when they - our customer support staff - try to do this, not everything copies and pastes correctly. In particular, images do not seem to allow copying.
To clarify: We're NOT trying to PREVENT copy and pasting, we're trying to ENABLE/ALLOW this!
Hence me asking - what in RH and/or the CHM format prevents this, and is there any configuration or workaround that would allow us to get this to work? I have no idea what you thought I was asking or what issue you're responding to, but it doesn't sound like the issue we're facing.
Anyways, regarding this issue, would changing Help formats help? For example, if we used WebHelp instead of HTMLHelp, would our support staff be able to copy and paste topics into Word?
Thanks,

Hi there
In re-reading the thread, it would appear I misunderstood what you were after. My bad and I apologize.
I believe when I replied to that, I was under the impression you were seeking a way to prevent users from copying images from the help.
Sorry for any misunderstanding... Rick

No problem, it's just frustrating as I'm getting a lot of requests for the same desired ability/feature (being able to select individual topics and export them into a single PDF).
